@thejoehardy: 3 steps to start investing today 👇 Here's how to actually start. Step 1: Open a brokerage account. Fidelity, Schwab, and Vanguard are all solid, no-fee options. 🏦 Step 2: Automate a monthly transfer. Set it up once, from your bank to your brokerage account, so it moves without you thinking about it. Step 3: Pick one fund and stay consistent. An S&P 500 index fund like VOO, VTI, or FXAIX gives you instant diversification across hundreds of companies. That's also where the 10% average return on the chart comes from. It's the long-run historical average of the S&P 500. 📌 Save this for the day you're ready to start. Which brokerage do you use?
